AQIQ Pod Overview

The Y-Pods were developed by researchers in Mike Hannigan’s Laboratory at CU Boulder. They are a low-cost technology that is currently being field tested and refined for air quality research use. As the Pods are being improved for research purposes, they continue to be a great tool for education. Pods can be used both indoors and outdoors, and can use a wall outlet or battery for a power source. The embedded sensors are metal oxide semi-conductors, electrochemical, and non-dispersive infrared sensors.
